I still do not know what to really think about this book but I'm still thinking about it weeks after reading it. While sometimes a litte tiresome, i loved the stream of consciousness narration of Helen for the most part and really liked the jump between her 'gross' thoughts and her trauma

about her mother's suicide attempt
